    I found this article to be quite shocking, and I’d like to congratulate DeAndre Hopkins for calling out the NFL for this ridiculous policy.

    Basically Roger Goodell the NFL commissioner (who is a total disaster) told teams any player who is unvaccinated and tests positive for a game will cause their team to forefeit without possibility to reschedule.

    This is absolutely ridiculous, and seems to be the launching pad for what will become ‘vaccine passports.’

    If there was ever a time as a player to call upon it’s union and hold a strike THIS would be it.

    Have a good evening all

    • Collective guilt and peer pressure are among the strongest forms of coercion. I expect a lot more of it. But it’s also a sign of weakness: The authorities wouldn’t need such outrageous coercion if people weren’t resisting in significant numbers.

      • I wonder if it has a lot to do with concealing deteriorating health from the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated. I heard it was visible during the EK football that just took place. If the 2x 45′ get reduced we will know for sure. There were many a player that hardly could get the 45′ session finished considering those players are supposed to be young healthy top sporters at the height of their game.

          • Honestly this thought never even came into my mind but I must admit it’s an intriguing speculation that has logic.

          • The star system is dead and the televised sport system is dying. Mr. Global has long vampirized energy from these circuits or events, and for some reason is having second thoughts. I’ll elaborate in a future vidchat question.

              • … not soon enough and like Donald Rumsfeld, Good Riddance. In all of the history of humanity one would be challenged to come up with a greater example of time, money, and energy wasted (let us not forget to include here the media expenditures on sports). But, after all, isn’t that the point?
